nové vydání klasické anglické četby Lucretius' poem On the Nature of the Universe combines a
scientific and philosophical treatise with some of the greatest poetry
ever written. With intense moral fervour Lucretius demonstrates to
humanity that in death there is nothing to fear since the soul is
mortal, and the world and everything in it is governed not by the gods,
but by the mechanical laws of nature. By believing this, men can live
in peace of mind and happiness. Lucretius bases his argument on the
atomic theory expounded by the Greek philosopher Epicurus. His poem
explores sensation, sex, cosmology, meteorology, and geology through
acute observation of the beauties of the natural world and with moving
sympathy for man's place in it.
Sir Ronald Melville's accessible and accurate verse translation is
complemented by an introduction and notes situating Lucretius'
scientific theories within the thought of 1st century BCE Rome and
discussing the Epicurean philosophy that was his inspiration and why
the issues Lucretius' poem raisies about the scientific and poetical
views of the world continue to be important.
